Diversity begets stability
Are we irreversibly altering biodiversity and ecosystems?

40% land conversion globally
A long precedent for viewing habitat fragments as islands

Species area relationship \(\hat{S} = f(A)\)
Species extinctions: \(\hat{S}_\text{new} = \hat{S}(A_\text{orig} - A_\text{loss})\)
\(\Rightarrow \hat{S}_\text{extinct} = \hat{S}(A_\text{orig}) - \hat{S}(A_\text{orig} - A_\text{loss})\)
Species extinctions: \(\hat{S}_\text{new} = \hat{S}(A_\text{orig} - A_\text{loss})\)
\(\Rightarrow \hat{S}_\text{extinct} = \hat{S}(A_\text{orig}) - \hat{S}(A_\text{orig} - A_\text{loss})\)
Imagine a model linking biodiversity to ecosystem to human population and back again–hasn't been done to my knowledge, would be cool to do
Thanks!
